A sun drenched August bank holiday Monday saw the final of the LCB U14s Inter
League competition reach it's climax as the Lancashire County League took on the
Palace Shield League.
St Annes CC kindly hosted the day and provided a fantastic environment for the
game.
Lancashire County League won the toss and asked the Palace Shield to bat first.
The loss of Bretherton in the 2nd over looked as though the LCL had made the
right choice, however what they didn't envisage was a 200 run partnership from
Lancs County duo Taylor Cornel (68) and Sam Oldham. Cornall fell to a fantastic
catch at Long Off whilst unselfishly trying to push the score on for the Palace
Shield. Cameron Smith then joined Oldham to play a 32 run cameo, whilst at the
other end Sam Oldham finished with 144 not out in helping the Palace Shield post
a very impressive 276 for 2. Pick of the bowlers fpr LCL were Mohammed Ahmed
10-2-30-0 and Brad Johnson 10-3-35-2.
In reply LCL proved what a great wicket for batting on it was as they too got
off to a great start of 144 runs for the first wicket through the opening pair
of captain Matt Sonczak and Kieran Lawton (45).
Captain and Derbyshire age group player, Sonczak, then took the attack to the
Palace Shield and blasted his way to a superb 152 not out and taking his team
past the total to lift the Title and be crowned the U14s Inter League Lancashire
Winners. Matt was also named as the Man of the Match.
Our congratulations to all the team representatives present on the day, who all
played their part in an amazing and very fitting final.
The LCB wish to thank all the inter league sides that have participated in all
the rounds and especially to both the Palace Sheild and the Lancashire County
League for their involvement.
Thanks to St Annes CC and all their fantastic staff who managed to take the
fixture on at such short notice and providing a superb environment for these
players to perform.
